Lunge

When far, the swashbuckler charges the target, dealing moderate physical damage and staggering it.

Void Salt Explosion/Burning Void Salts

Bugs

• While the swashbuckler is sprinting to perform "Twirling Lunge", blocking spark indicators appear around you, instead of around them, and blocking the attack doesn't set them off-balance. ^?
